Growth, Resilience, Investment and Training (GRIT) is a six-year initiative funded by Global Affairs Canada to address the economic gap for women’s empowerment particularly in Northern Sri Lanka.
To support GRIT’s goal of building a gender-responsive entrepreneurial ecosystem, Criterion developed a portfolio of insights to expand thinking and perceptions around how finance could be used for social change.
